  • So long as we stick to serious business like industrial process optimization and stay away from LLM chatbots and AI waifus, that’s fine.

    Oh, and no: You don’t get to install attack-surface widening software on everybody’s machines that scan local files for CSAM (exactly what are you sickos going to train that model on and where did you get it?) in addition to wasting everyone’s system resources and electricity on declaring innocent people for pedo’s due to the inevitable false positives. By all means use AI to actually increase productivity and product quality. Hell, use machine learning to optimize logistics, save energy and minimize waste.

    But don’t attempt to use it as a means of invasive control and surveillance.





  • No, that’s a good point. We all bloody well know there isn’t a single provider of LLM’s that aren’t sucking the entire Internet dry while gleefully ignoring robots.txt and expecting everybody else to pay the bill on their behalf, but the AI providers are getting really good at using other people IPs both to mask their identity and to evade blacklists, which is yet another abusive behavior.

    But that’s beside your point. So forget the class-action lawsuit in favor of the relevant Ombudsman.

    Either way, this cannot go on. Donation-driven open source projects are being driven into the ground by exploding bandwidth and hosting costs, people are being forced to deploy tools like Anubis that eats additional resources - including the resources of every legitimate user. The cumulative damage this is doing is no joke.
